Need a hard drive suggestion

[mrwill]

Some time this month, I will be adding an SSD. I also want to add another hard drive. After I add the SSD, I will have 4 additional drives: 2 @ 750GB, 1@1TB, & 1@80GB. The 80 is coming out and I would like a fairly fast drive to replace it. I don't need a 10K RPM drive, but just didn't want to pick a green drive or some other drive that will be the slowest one in the set. BTW, I will not be using any of them in a raid array and this will be in a Windows 7-64 box.

Western Digital Black?

Definitely look at the Intel Gen. 3 (Elm Crest) SSDs they rock for your main SSD drive

Then for your 80GB Intel has a stellar 80GB or 120GB Gen. 2 SSD for cheap that would be a great replacement.

Spinners are dead for small storae needs IMO

I second the Black suggestion. Solid drive with five year warranty. Of course, the SpinPoint series bests the Black in most benchmarks even though it is a 5400 RPM drive. Either will be fine.
